We’re off to Canmore tomorrow for some much need

We’re off to Canmore tomorrow for some much needed R&R! Does anyone have tips on winter activities there for kids? I’m hoping to go to Nakiska one morning, and see how Hal and I do on skis 😬. The hubs is officially off crutches as of this coming Friday so we have some major celebrating to do. 12 weeks has flown by but has also DRAGGED at the same time 😂

I’m also super excited to deliver this gallery today. It’s my second last wedding of 2021 out the door, it’s crazy to think that the year is almost complete ✅ @kimmybuchberger @keatonbuchberger

Now to squeeze in as many Christmassy activities as possible over these next few weeks. This time of year is my absolute fav 👏 I hope you’re all having some amazing days out there with your families and soaking up this Christmas season as much as you can. 🎄

It's time to share an update about hurricane Hal and Tsunami Sil, the two most important ladies in my life 👩‍👧‍👧

These two little stinkers are keeping us quite busy and entertained. Silvia has officially decided to walk (actually more like run), and Halle is learning to play more independently and is obsessed with games and crafts at the moment. We literally JUST bought some skis for Hal, and I'm sooo excited to get her on the ski hill this winter. I also got myself some skis because I felt it would be easiest for us both to be on skis when she's first learning, so wish me luck out there! Chris will be on crutches for another 3-4 weeks so we’re in the tail end of this recovery and I can’t tell you how happy I am that our lives will be back on track-ish soon. 🙌

Here are just a few of my favorite photos from recent sessions done with my good pals @kristilee_parish @simplyme_studio and @homegrownphotographyndesignbyj . Swipe to the end to see a few from Silvia's cake smash on her 1st birthday! Thank you Kristilee and Jenna so much for these!

2021, you totally kicked my ass in so many ways but I am grateful for all that you taught me. I'm excited to slow things down a bit in 2022 and live a more balanced life, learn some new things and put even more effort and time into my photography than ever before. It's time to turn down the dial on quantity and turn up the dial on quality, in ALL areas of my life.

I suppose this is all a part of growing up and realizing what's important. What do you think? Are you feeling the same way?

Happy hump day friends. XO

My brain literally hurts trying to pick images to share from this day 😝

Once again though, one of my favourite images (the first) is one that was taken between poses when I was testing the light for a little backlit night shot. @keatonbuchberger holding his drink because at this point he was sooo ready to party and just relax and @kimmymamczasz snuggled in being her adorable self. 😍

Leave some love for this couple right here! Some of Edmonton’s finest right here 🤍 I’m so incredibly happy to have been a part of this day ✨

Slowly but surely plugging away in the cave over here on edits and I’m so excited that it’s Kassey and Aaron’s engagements gallery day. 🎉 These two brought the 🔥 and the fun 🤩

I’ve shot in the concrete jungle a ton this year and a few things I’ve learned are: you don’t need to have a sunset to have good light (because the buildings shade the sun anyways) and also that you can still get golden hour effect by utilizing sun rays that bounce off buildings (image #1). Pretty sweet eh!?

💛 GRATEFUL HEART 💛

I may be in a coma over here, but just want to send out a massive thanks to everyone involved in putting on our 2nd ever @heart_and_dime retreat. If you were following along, you may have noticed it was a bittttt of a party, a much overdue party I might add! I had so much fun getting to know so many new people, witness some incredible scenery and work with some uber talented people and sexy af models! You guys are incredible! And Ang, just know ILUSM and you sure know how to shot gun like a champ. 🏆

I want to also send out a massive thanks to the people in my life in the background: my husband who is my never ending support (even though he's currently recovering from surgery), grammas for childcare (TGFG), my kids for making me smile every single day, and lastly my incredible friends who are basically my therapists (you know who you are). It's really you who make my ship float every day even when burnout is insurmountable at times. 🤪

So apparently every single time these two visit the mountains, there’s either smoke or low cloud which covers the mountains.. so I fully blame the lack of visibility on these two during the shoot! BUT I do have to admit they sure look good even in the sleet snow and wind. 👏

Congrats to @joceelynann and James. You two are absolutely perfect together.

The first photo you see here may not be the typica

The first photo you see here may not be the typical photo you’d see posted from a beautiful mountain wedding. To me, when it comes to documenting love stories it’s about a lot more than an epic mountain backdrop or a perfect pose, it’s about the in between moments. ✨

It’s about the way these two are together, unscripted, being their authentic selves with each other. This first image was a totally candid moment them just walking along behind us, Jesse carrying her purse because, well chivalry isn’t dead after all...and Megan laughing her butt off at him. To me this moment describes them perfectly.

Love finds a way even in the midst of a worldwide pandemic and the typical wedding day hiccups. Nothing could stop these two from sealing the deal. 🤍 Congrats to these gorgeous babes and I can’t wait to share more from this incredible day.

Guyssss. Today my youngest is ONE ☝️ (cue the tears)

In true second child fashion I don’t have umpteen updated professional photos of her but I figured I’d share a photo of her and I that I love from when she was 6 months old and then also a video of the moment I laid my eyes on her, and then a photo of her from just the other day.

You’re the one I knew I never needed. You’re the one who I needed to make this last year better than it should have been. Even on my darkest days you’re the light in my life, along with your sissy of course, so thank you for that. Thank you for being a little more cautious than your sister, you seem to have a softer demeanour and I love that about you. You two sure have a cackle that matches though and I absolutely adore that. 😆

Quite simply, thanks baby girl for being you. Happy first trip around the sun. 🤍

So how did you all survive without social media yesterday? A much needed break or a pain in the a$$? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t check like 10+ times to see if it was up and running 😂

Here’s a bit more of @anewasiuk and Ryan, because these two are stunning and I loved their day!

This photo deserves its own square ✨. I remember when I shot this image I thought YUP this one will be one of my favourites. The fall colours are absolutely amazing right now, and these two babes make it look even better 🍂

The world is heavy, I can feel it in my bones. The only thing we have our health and each other, so let’s hold on tight and cherish the important and the seemingly smaller insignificant moments. 🤍

Loved my evening celebrating these two @kasseym
